June 16th is the Day of the African Child and Plan, a children’s development organization, is launching the 10 Days to Act campaign – which gives “global citizens” (that’s you) 10 days to answer the call for an increased investment in education.

June 26th, the 10-day mark, will see the world’s governments meet at the Global Partnership for Education conference in Brussels to declare their commitment to funding education.
